Title: Unable to get keyboard to work (AT/XT??)
Post by: Inconsistent on Thu, 24 March 2011, 21:40:49

Hi,
I just recently found a random keyboard at a thrift store that I bought for $3. I was looking for an IBM model m keyboard but found another type of keyboard that I believe contains futaba switches. The keyboard uses a 5 pin DIN so I had to buy an adapter to PS/2 for it to connect to my computer. However after buying the adapter the keyboard does not work. So I'm kind of stumped at what to do, on the back of the keyboard there is a label that says XT on one side and AT on the other but there is no switch.
 The keyboard is labelled as an Apex by EPSON keyboard.

Please post close-up pictures of the keyboard, its back, and the switches.
